There is no way I would ride a snortster cross country. Okay I would, but it would not be my first or second or third or...choice. Give me one then I would! Heck I'd ride a moped cross country if someone wants to sponsor me. I digress...
The 883s are much smaller in stature than a Bonneville America or Speedmaster. They are top heavy too. They blow oil in the ham can which drips all over the freaking motor. The clutch adjustment is an excerise in taking stuff off. You actually have to set the timing on those things. Which involves drilling rivets. WTF? I'll tell you, buying a snortster is like being in Clarinda, Iowa listening to Glenn Miller while opening your draft notice in the mail. The most modern thing on the bike nowadays are the tank badge decals.
Ride a snortster for very long and you'll start to feel like a pretzel. I know...
